STUBBORN HEARTS<3 (complete)

To Begin Is To Finish

My head was floating. I know I should not be thinking about it but I can’t help but remember

how his lips felt on mine. It was warm, soft, wet, tingling. . .

It was all-new to me. Sounds odd, I know. I’ve had my fair share with kissing boys but this time

was different- so different, so new, so refreshing. I can’t even wrap my head around what he

revealed about himself that much because the kiss was dominating my mind, my thoughts.

I cleared my throat, wanting to erase the thoughts swirling in my head.

“So, you and Seohyun go a long way back ,huh?” I broke the silence, glancing sideways at him.

we were in a slow pace, going back to the cottage.

“Yes” he answered. “We’ve been friends since we were kids. She just used t watch me but then,

she got interested, too. As far as I know, throughout the history of the. . . the agency I’m in, only

six women was able to enter. Seohyun’s one of them”

“Rreally? Is she really that good?”

“She is. She’s pretty hardworking, too. She worked her ass off to enter the agency” he said, his

voice full of pride and respect. But I was uneasy. Eventhough he told me a lot about hum, I still

feel that he didn’t really tell me everything about him. But I bet Seohyun knows everything

about him. Huh!

My lips twitched in annoyance. “I’m getting cold. I’ll go ahead” I said indifferently and

quickened my pace. “Stupid pest” I mumbled darkly.

I marched angrily ahead of him. Aish! He’s just so easy to hate. Ugh! I stopped as I head an

amused chuckle behind me. I looked behind me and gave my deadliest glare. He stopped in his

tracks, too, just two or three feet from me, wearing an amused look.

“What’s funny?” I snapped.

He smiled boyishly. “Nothing”

“Stupid pest” I mumbled and started walking away again, more like stomping, actually.

“What did I do this time?” he asked, still sounding amused.

My frown deepened. Yes, what did he do wrong? Why am I suddenly irritated? Oh! He kissed

me, that’s why. But wait, I wasn’t really irritated a while ago. I didn’t even feel disgusted by the

kiss.

Argh! What the hell is happening?!? I’m so confused!

As I reached the cottage, I saw a note on the door.

Ji,

Off to grocery. We’re running out of supplies.

Hyun

I noticed that the note was for the pest ONLY. It’s as if I don’t exist, at least to her.

“Oh, looks like we’re all alone for now” the pest said from behind me. I froze and was about to

push the door open. But it won’t budge.

“What’s wrong with this thing?” I growled.

“It’s locked” the pest said, totally sounding amused and. . . pleased.
